Martha Stewart is doing things her way — and apparently, that includes tossing royal protocol right out the window.
The lifestyle mogul turned heads this week after revealing she has a surprisingly casual nickname for King Charles III — and let’s just say Buckingham Palace traditionalists might want to sit down for this one.
Speaking to TMZ outside The Whitby Hotel in New York City, Stewart casually dropped that she calls the king… “Chuck.”
Yes, really.
While most people are expected to address the monarch as “Your Majesty” or “Sir,” Stewart made it clear she’s not losing sleep over royal formalities. The 80-something icon shrugged it off like it was no big deal — suggesting her relationship with the king might be a little more relaxed than expected.
And she didn’t stop there.
When asked if she had any homemaking advice for Queen Camilla or the king, Stewart flipped the script with a laugh, saying they’re the ones who should be giving her tips instead.
“They don’t need it at all. I need it from them,” she joked, before adding that the royal couple looks “great these days.”
The eyebrow-raising moment came just hours before Stewart joined Charles and Camilla at a star-studded gala in Manhattan — and the guest list read like a who’s who of global fame.
Big names like Lionel Richie, Anna Wintour, beauty mogul Charlotte Tilbury, and fashion powerhouses Stella McCartney and Donatella Versace all showed up for the glitzy King’s Trust Global Gala.
The event celebrated the king’s longtime charity, which has helped young people kickstart their careers for decades — a cause Charles clearly still takes seriously.
During his speech, the 77-year-old monarch struck a reflective tone, praising the limitless potential of young talent and urging supporters to keep investing in the next generation.
“I won’t see the long-distance future,” he admitted, “but I’m enormously grateful” for those helping carry the mission forward.
Earlier in the day, Charles and Camilla made a whirlwind tour through New York — stopping at the 9/11 Memorial, Harlem, and the New York Public Library — before capping things off with a high-profile White House dinner hosted by Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
Next up, the royal couple heads to Virginia for events marking America’s 250th anniversary — but let’s be honest, it’s Stewart’s cheeky “Chuck” comment that’s stealing the spotlight.
Because when Martha speaks, even kings apparently listen.
Love it!!
Lo
Martha can get away with it. Why not? Chuck puts his pants on one leg at a time, too.
